Tick Tock...

After all these years

I'm finding that love is tough

You can try to hold on

In the end, your grip won't be tight enough

Time will become a blur

And the days will turn to dusk


The I love you(s) will dwindle

You know all that stuff

The reminiscing

The question(s)

Did I do enough


I believe in God

But will I make the cut

Find you in Heaven

And say, "Man, look at us"


You were an angel on earth

Now you're walking through these golden streets

Mah, do you remember when we were attempting to figure out what we were going to eat


We escaped a sentence, which wasn't meant for us

You made miracles out of thin air

Let me add water to the pot

That held the rice and crust

Oh how I wish we could turn back the time

And be able to say more stuff


I've saved all your messages

For the rainy days, when I'll be searching for your voice, girl trust


I can't lie

My soul is crushed

The regrets I have push me in silence

The pressure seems so much

Who knew I could cry so easily

From your slightest touch

This is the part of life so many dread so much

The days without a care in the world

To the days of shit, now what


To my best friend

Right hand

Singer

Dancer

Jokester

And light

I was your first child

Always aiming to shine bright


When the final bell tolls

I hope, I can raise my hand

And say

Thank you for all of your sacrifices

Again, THANK YOU FOR BEING MY LIGHT
